About the Artist

Christine Gamache is a digital scratchboard artist whose work addresses urgent social and environmental issues through meticulous line work and dramatic visual storytelling. Working with a Wacom tablet directly in Photoshop, Gamache employs a painstaking technique where every mark is an individual line, echoing traditional scratchboard methods while embracing digital possibilities.

Gamache graduated from Christopher Newport University with a BA in Art in 2005. Her work has been recognized internationally, receiving a Certificate of Artistic Achievement from the Luxembourg Art Prize in 2021. Most recently, her work was accepted into Art Fluent's Wide Open exhibition in September 2025.

Through her art, Gamache explores themes of nature, social justice, and equality, with particular focus on LGBTQIA+ rights, climate change, racial inequality, and genocide. As a nonbinary lesbian artist, she brings personal insight to representations of transgender and queer experiences. Her wildlife portraits serve as visual advocacy for creatures impacted by habitat loss and environmental destruction, giving voice to those who cannot speak for themselves.

She also runs walking-nature.com where you can find many of her wildlife portraits available on shirts or as art prints.
